Hi,
Is the use of
[ i in SOMETHING ] statement;
truly a list comprehension in say the Python sense or does it have
limitations. Fortran's implied DO loop is a list comprehension in an
extremely limited sense and then, only within READ/WRITE statements.
Also, in the interests of succinct code, are there any plans to support in
Chapel a ternary operator like the '?' of C/C++ or the ternary 'if' of
ython, i.e. respectively
x = condition ? resultA : resultB; // C/C++ (Java)
or
x = resultA if condition else resultB; // Python (since V2.6??)
or the more general (and supperior) use of if/then/else within an
assignment.
variable := ( if condition then resultA else resultB );
of Algol68 and (MetalLua??). I think BCPL has the concept of a conditional
expression
E1 -> E2, E3
which evaluates and provides as an Rvalue E2 or E3 respectively if E1 is
true or false.
